Owner and brewmaster, Henryk “Heiner” Orlik, is one of a select few German brew masters in the United States. In 1972, at the age of 16, Henryk began his brewing career in Germany. His education in brewing was thorough and laborious, as it took a little more than seven years to obtain his final degree from the Doemens School of Brewers and Malsters. His focus is on quality and he is committed to his craftsmanship. His dedication to the art of brewing is strictly according to the German Purity Law of 1516… also known as “Reinheitsgebot.” That means no adjuncts, no artificial carbonation and no other additives are used to enhance the brewing process. Just simple malted barley, hops, yeast, water and the true experience of a German brewmaster makes Heiner Brau beers tasty and refreshing.

NOLA Brewing is the concept and dream of entrepreneur Kirk Coco. Kirk is a native New Orleanian who earned his BA and Juris Doctorate from Louisiana State University, his MBA from the University of New Orleans and served 11 years as a Surface Warfare Officer in the United States Navy. After watching the effects of Katrina while on deployment in the Arabian Gulf, he decided to come home to help rebuild and develop commerce in post-Katrina New Orleans.

While enjoying great tasting beer of fellow New Orleanian and home brewer Byron Towles, the question arose, “Why doesn’t New Orleans have several great local micro-breweries like Portland or Seattle to offer a variety of beer to a city full of brewing history?” Once the cradle of brewing in the Deep South, New Orleans boasted world famous beers such as Falstaff, Regal, Union, Dixie, Jax, New Orleans Brewing and XXXX (Four X). The result of this conversation was NOLA Brewing – bringing you great New Orleans beer.

Parish Brewing Co. is a nanobrewery (yes, nano! smaller than micro!) in Lafayette, Louisiana. Parish will be bringing Acadiana and the rest of Louisiana uncompromising, craft brewed beer (or biere in our native cajun french). Using only the finest ingredients, we'd never cut costs at the expense of flavor. Think of Parish as an upstart local brewery in cajun country doing battle against boring, tasteless swill.
